A nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity, Adopt America Network (AAN) is committed to improving the lives of adoptable children throughout the United States who are in the foster care system by placing them with permanent, loving families. AAN uses a national network of public agencies, private agencies and volunteer adoption specialists.

Adriel has a long and rich history of caring for children in need. Founded as the Mennonite Childrenâ€™s home in 1896, Adrielâ€™s mission has always focused on serving those children who either have no family or whose family environment is not safe or healthy. As the needs of children and families have changed, Adriel has adapted and expanded its services to meet them. Today, Adriel provides residential treatment and foster care and adoption services for children. Adoption: Some families decide to foster with the intention of adopting a child (or children). Other families decide after fostering for a time that they would like to adopt. Adriel adoption assessors assist families in the adoption process by completing the additional work required to make adoption possible. We dually license families as both foster and adoptive homes. These homes, referred to as foster-to-adopt, are legally capable to provide placement for both foster and adoptive children. We do not charge any fees for this dual licensing.

Lucas County Children Services is seeking foster parents for babies, toddlers and groups of brothers and sisters. We are also seeking adoptive families for children age 6 and older, as well as for teens and groups of brothers and sisters.
